I don't want to sound snotty but have you tried
reading the documentation for X?
I spent about three weeks struggling to get x 4.01
installed recently. I finially figured it out and got
it running with my voodoo5.
One of the nicest outcomes of that process is that I
am much more at home in my linux box at the command
line. I realize the truth now that X really is just
another program that you can run on linux. I can also
understand now how people can choose to not install it
at all and still have a usable computer.
All in all the semantics for the XF86Config file is
pretty straight forward once you grasp its quirky
logic.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the "Crap, I broke it
so thoroughly that I have no idea how to fix it.
Guess it's time to re-install." thing. My knowledge
of linux is just starting to grow out of it now. All
I'm really trying to say is that you can fix these
things without re-installing and the feeling of
accomplishment when you do is totally awesome.
